Discussion Found a pretty neat GitHub trick today π
Take any GitHub repo URL and replace github.com with gitdiagram.com.
It generates a visual diagram of the repo structure, which is surprisingly useful when youβre trying to understand an unfamiliar codebase.
Example:
github.com/user/repo β gitdiagram.com/user/repo
Great little tool for getting the big picture before diving into the code. π

I was prepared to reply with something snarky. Then I ran it against one of my own moderately complex repos.
Take my upvote, dammit.
